Salary • A teachers’ salary is based on the number of years spent in school, the number of degrees obtained and the number of years worked which is called seniority.
Hours • This was discussed in the previous slide titled a Typical Day. • The actual hours that a teacher should be present is from 9:00 am until 3:35 pm. • Different start and end times vary by school. • Many teachers work extra hours, putting in time with extra curricular activities.
